Classes:ArtiPoisonBagGiver

Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

Classes: Inventory→ArtiPoisonBag→ArtiPoisonBagGiver

A generic fléchette class from which to derive custom actors to create new types of fléchettes. When used, the fléchette will add to the player's inventory an inventory item corresponding to its MissileType. This can be combined with CustomInventory items as the missile type to achieve many sorts of powerful effects.

To assign a flechette type to a player class, use the Player.FlechetteType property in the code for the player class.
